WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Top White House advisor Karl Rove was one of the secret sources that spoke to reporters about a covert CIA operative whose identity was leaked to the media, Newsweek magazine reported in its latest edition.
The magazine said Rove's lawyer, Robert Luskin, confirmed that Rove talked to Time magazine about former ambassador Joseph Wilson and his wife, CIA agent Valerie Plame.
Luskin said Rove recently gave Time magazine reporter Matt Cooper permission to testify about the conversation to a grand jury investigating the leak in 2003, according to Newsweek.
A U.S. federal judge ordered Cooper, along with New York Times reporter Judith Miller, to testify and reveal their confidential sources.
Last week Cooper avoided a jail sentence for contempt of court by agreeing to testify in the case. Miller refused to testify and was jailed.
The case has become an important test involving freedom of the press and has pitting the media's traditional use of anonymous sources against the efforts of a federal government prosecutor to investigate a possible crime.
It is illegal to knowingly reveal the identity of an undercover CIA agent.
Although Rove has made statements about the Plame leak, he has never publicly acknowledged talking to any reporter about the CIA agent.
Rove has carefully chosen his words when questioned about the leak. "I didn't know her name. I didn't leak her name," he told CNN last year when asked if he had had anything to do with it.

"LIEberals can NEVER keep any secrets!"
You ain't lieing!! The silence over Sandy Bergers stealing and losing Top Secret SCI documents during a time of war is deafening.
It's becoming apparent that Joe wasn't officially sent by THE CIA, he was sent by DNC operatives who happen to work at the CIA. His mission was to undermine the President and War.
Rove was warning Cooper.....look what happened. A good deed does go punished inside the beltway.
We can disagree on the ethics and morality of this. You & I are of different opinions.
But there was nothing illegal about this (as was your earlier argument).
Why wasn't Rove honest from the beginning then? He and the White House have denied that they had anything to do with it. Rove lied to the public and to his boss.
You don't seem to know much, boy.

This little twerp deserves it. ;^)
Personally I enjoy watching you school them. Keep up the good work.
Not to many conservatives that I know, like their anuses fondled,licked or otherwise messed with... That would leave you in the Massachusetts crowd and we all know who they vote for... Maybe you and Barney Frank could go out sometime, sure he probably wouldn't mind masticating your posterior.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

"Oh no, ... not at all... perfectly normal... no problem here... oh you betchya...."
George is the man. :D Elaine is hot, but i guess she's a mega-lib :(
Yes, he has gained complete control over the HAARP apparatus!
CA....
Sorry,but I don't think it's going to stick.
How many of the taxpayer's $ have been spent
to get this far? And for what?
CA....
DING-DING-DING!
We have a WINNER!
LOLOL! Don't forget the cigarette holder dangling from her lips and the thick Russian accent....
Good point
This is just one more reason Newsweek needs to be shut down. How many LIES can one magazine print before it has to answer to authority??
'Valarie Plame should resign for sending her husband to Niger to cook intelligence. She and he are a disgrace.
A pair of glory hounds putting their own stardom ahead of the country.
They belong in the Rosenberg wing of the Traitor's Hall of Fame.'

in my opinion, this is the story we should be talking about - these idiot Plame/Wilsons have lied, deceived and flamed their way into a situation that they hoped would debase the present administration's position. I think Rove played it exactly right.
